Ukrainian term or phrase: ключовий елемент засад Євросоюзу
Оскільки ключовим елементом засад Євросоюзу є демократичні цінності та принципи, розширення і поглиблення європейської інтеграції спонукають до формування нових механізмів для забезпечення демократичного характеру наднаціонального управління.

cornerstone of the EU
Explanation:
One would be tempted to use here 'fundamental principle', but in the context of the EU this term has a rather specific meaning (four freedoms). So I suggest that you use "the cornerstone of the EU", also to avoid repetition with "democratic values and principles".
Is this a newspaper article? The original is somewhat "terminologically unclear."
